Q. Go through the following facts -
(I). $'AAG'$ always codes for lysine. It cannot code for any other amino acid.
(II). Serine amino acid can be coded by $UCU / UCC / UCA$ or $UCG$
(III). $UUU$ forms phenyl alanine in bacteria as well as human beings.
(IV). $UUU \,GGG \,CCC \,AAA \,AAC$ codes for five amino acids
Now point out nature of genetic code after reading above.

Molecular Basis of Inheritance

Solution:

Correct answer is (b) I - Specify / Non-ambiguity of code; II - Degeneracy of code, III * Universality of code; IV - Triplet & nonoverlapping
